Indeed. That was the story. The reality is after all these rate hikes PG&E, which so desperately complained about their future being in jeopardy, forcing worker concessions, and undergoing a 58 billion dollar wildfire fueled restructuring, paid their CEO more than 40 million dollars and cleared more than 25 percent pure profit last quarter. Oh, and this most recent rate hike was justified to bury cables. All while be…

Maybe a residential power generation owners union (association?) could coalesce enough collective action power. Residential producers go on strike by disabling their systems on a coordinated random Saturday each month causing spikes in power cost and headaches for PG&E until the solar rate structure is negotiated with the union on fair terms.

Local areas can create public districts for power, and there are many throughout California. They generally work quite well, though the creation of new ones can be time consuming to get control over existing PG&E areas.

More bingo points, I’ll call them out for people following at home.

Do they need updated procedures? Maybe? But as we saw at Liverpool and the Fremantle any car fire is dangerous ev…

Just to be clear, I did not back down from this argument even after we both said we will not continue. You said several things I disagree with and misrepresented my points again. I think you are arguing in bad faith in this whole thread, just to troll me. I would have replied to your final wall of text but there is no reply button under the message. I guess we hit the reply limit. Just as well since we both kinda wan…

You just had your ass handed to you on a platter several times.

You've proven again and again that you have terrible sources of information, you believe unsubstantiated calculated lies, and you repeat them as truth, and refuse to stop believing and repeating them once you're presented with better more correct information. Why should anyone trust anything you have to say?

No point in continuing as you said. If you were capable of admitting you were wrong you could have done it on any number of points so let’s just stop here. You’ve even gone on to the green issue and there plenty of stats out there to show break even after x miles so maybe that’s a good place to start for you without me feeding you the numbers. It’s sad people buy in to the conspiracy stuff. If you ever find a way out…

Wow you are delusional. You've refused to acknowledge any of my points, authoritative sources, reasonable conjectures, etc. All while assuming this holier than thou snobbish attitude. I am only stopping because this conversation is unproductive, like arguing with a religious zealot, and not because my arguments are wrong. You're an obstinate cuck, repeating marketing lies and political propaganda, with delusious of grandeur. I am ashamed to have wasted my time talking to you because I should have known you were disingenuous from the second reply. Happy trolling, asshole.
